Description

Vogue Magazine April 15, 1948 Dorothy Griffith by John Rawlings GD Interior

From a privately held Vogue archive, 1920s–1970s. These were stored away for decades and recently brought back into circulation. We performed light, dry surface cleaning at the outer spine (vacuum/brush/smoke sponge only; no wet methods), then placed each issue in a new archival sleeve.

What to expect: honest vintage traits, binding wear or small splits, staple-rust halos, edge toning, and period shelf dust that can appear as black residue along the spine. Interiors are dry and legible. Some copies retain a light vintage paper aroma typical of mid-century magazines.

Each listing shows the exact issue you’ll receive. Any condition materially beyond the above is noted in that item’s description. These characteristics reflect long, earlier storage before we acquired the collection; all items are now housed in clean sleeves and stored upright.

 

Please note: Due to age, this issue is missing a few pages at the back, including the back cover. The last page included is page 150. 

 

 The condition of the item is in acceptable condition with good interior. This item has creases on the front, marks, and within. There may be additional signs of wear, including small tears. The item pictured in this listing is exactly the same item you will receive.
Please check pictures for condition purposes.
We do offer combined shipping—just ask.
All of our items come with a plastic protective covering.
